Buying and Caring Guide for Baby’s Clothes

Even though you just have known that you are pregnant, it’s so tempting when you see baby’s clothes since they are so adorable. Next thing you know is you carry them back home.

             The most important thing you have to consider when buying baby’s clothes is the ‘fabric’ in addition to the style and pattern. The clothes must be soft and comfortable for the baby. They must not cause irritation to the baby’s sensitive skin. Let’s see our tips for buying baby’s clothes.

1. Go for 100%cotton since it can keep baby warm. The fabric is soft and durable. In addition, it will not cause irritation to the baby’s skin.

2. The clothes must be put on and off easily. Check to see that the clothing has a full snap opening at the bottom so it’s easy for diaper changes. If the clothes are meant to be pulled over baby’s head, make sure the neck opening is soft and stretchy so you don’t have to tug it over baby’s head.

3. Easy care is a must for daily use. Choose reusable diaper that is easy to be washed and dried so you don’t have to put too much effort. This can also save your time to do baby laundry.

4. Avoid clothes with metal zipper, elastics or button since they might cause irritation to the baby’s skin.

5. Check the seam. The clothes should give the baby a seamless feel. Touch the seam to see if it is soft enough that won’t cause irritation to the baby’s skin as he moves. The tight seam can make the baby uncomfortable.

6. Go for flexible fabric that does not tighten the baby’s neck, waist, arms and legs. Tightened clothes will make the baby uncomfortable. They also obstruct blood circulation and cause redness to the skin.

How to wash baby’s clothes

• Carefully choose baby washing product that is chemical-free since it will not cause irritation to the skin or damage to the fabric while cleaning.
              • Fabric softener will leave fragrant and softness to the clothes.
              • Dry the clothes with strong sunlight to kill the bacteria.

Tips : The ornaments such as buttons and glitters might make the clothes adorable. Nevertheless, don’t forget that your baby might pull them off and put them into the mouth. This is very dangerous. You should be careful when choosing clothes for the baby. Skip clothes with ornaments until they grow enough to know not to put hazardous objects into the mouth.
